Official Biometric Passport & Visa Standards Made Simple
Submitting passport or visa renewal applications online (such as the US DS-160/DS-260, UK eVisa, Schengen Visa, or India Passport Seva / OCI) frequently leads to rejection due to incorrect aspect ratios, improper face sizing, misaligned eye-lines, or exceeding strict file size upload limits.
PassPorto solves this by embedding official international biometric standards (US State Department 2x2 inch, ICAO 35x45mm, Canadian 50x70mm) directly in your browser. With interactive eye-line alignment overlays, real-time zoom & rotation sliders, and single-click file size optimizers (<240 KB, <100 KB, <50 KB), you generate government-compliant photos in seconds.
Best of all, PassPorto executes 100% locally on your computer or mobile device. Your biometric facial photos are never uploaded to any remote server or stored in the cloud.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the official requirements for US DS-160 and US Passport photos?
US State Department specifications require a 2x2 inch (600x600 px to 1200x1200 px) square image on a plain white or off-white background, with the head centered and between 50% and 69% of the total image height (1 to 1 3/8 inches from chin to top of head), and a file size under 240 KB.
How does PassPorto compress photos to meet visa portal size limits?
PassPorto uses an iterative client-side canvas compression algorithm that precisely compresses your cropped image under 240 KB (US DS-160 portal), 100 KB (India OCI / Passport Seva), or 50 KB without sacrificing biometric facial resolution.
